But, yeah: how do some of these stiffs get these great jobs?
Unflattering pictures involving the CEO and a goat?
Good one, Tranquil Psychosis, though I wonder if Mr. Corcoran is motivated enough even to go to THAT much trouble. Good extortionists are usually self-starter types…

I’ve read Cliff Corcoran on three different blog pieces/articles.
Unimpressed. Very unimpressed.
Questionable, snap-judgment writing with obvious lack of thorough preparation/knowledge.
Corcoran’s got a large sign on his fake-wood desk that says ‘I’m A Big Ol’ Hack Writer’.
Makes me appreciate this USSMariner group all that much more.

“M’s rumored to be interested in signing, trading for, players
That’s just crazy talk.”
Actually, I found that news to be very encouraging. Remember, in past seasons the team signed, or traded for, such people as Miguel Cairo, Carl Everett, Jose Vidro and Carlos Silva. I’m sure they all are nice people but they hardly could be called baseball players when we acquired them.
Don’t be surprised to see Trader Z make a swing for Curtis Granderson (CF/LF), Edwin Jackson (SP) and Brandon Inge (3B). Their salaries would be still under what it will take to Sign Jason Bay or Matt Holliday and still leave $$$ to sign John Lackey. What are we to give up? Brandon Morrow, Shawn Kelley, Michael Saunders, and two other M’s Minor Leaguers (none named Truinfel). This trade goes down and Lackey signs and the M’s are back in the postseason.
Only one of those players is worth trading for. John Lackey is going to cost a really stupid amount of money.
Don’t be surprised to see people make stuff up, capitalize random words, and offer a weak grasp of how baseball works in our comments section.

When I saw the link to the terrible SI article by a guy named Corcoran, I thought it’s still a step up from Mcall, Idaho, traffic reports.

No kidding. I was going to start taking that proposal apart (Inge? In Safeco?) and then realized what my time is worth, and how early it still is in the silly season.

I keep expecting to see someone quoting Mike Sweeney denying Derek’s rumor entirely. “We have to keep everybody here,” said the man who would clearly be the first to go.
